De bereidingswijze
Stap voor stap
- 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Ongeveer 5 min
- 2
In a large bowl, combine the broccoli florets, bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion.
Ongeveer 2 min
- 3
Drizzle the vegetables with the olive oil for roasting, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Ongeveer 1 min
Tip van de kok: Ensure all vegetables are evenly coated for best roasting.
- 4
Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Ongeveer 1 min
Tip van de kok: Do not overcrowd the pan, as this will steam the vegetables instead of roasting them. Use two sheets if necessary.
- 5
Roast for 20 minutes, then add the cherry tomatoes to the baking sheet and continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Ongeveer 35 min
Tip van de kok: The cherry tomatoes cook faster, so adding them later prevents them from becoming mushy.
- 6
While the vegetables roast, combine the farro and water in a medium saucepan.
Ongeveer 1 min
- 7
Bring the farro to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
Ongeveer 25 min
Tip van de kok: Farro should be chewy, not mushy. Check for doneness around the 20-minute mark.

Drain any excess water from the cooked farro and let it cool slightly.
Ongeveer 5 min

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, fresh parsley, dried oregano, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper for the dressing.
Ongeveer 2 min
Tip van de kok: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

In a large bowl, combine the cooled farro and roasted vegetables.

Pour the dressing over the farro and vegetables, tossing gently to ensure everything is well coated.
Ongeveer 1 min

Allow the salad to rest for at least 10 minutes for the flavors to meld before serving.
Ongeveer 10 min
Tip van de kok: This salad tastes even better after resting, allowing the farro to absorb the dressing.
